Huddled Masses

Tearful eyes
Reflect a city in flames
A land forgotten, forsaken
As if the dead have no name
Torn to shreds by the jaws of war
Teeth tear family from home
Tearing mother from child
Ripping the flesh from bone
What do you gain?
To watch them suffer?
Seeking solace
Within a selfish fortress
No borders
No fences
No walls nor flags
No borders
No fences
No walls
No fucking flags

Blood of the Adversary
03:10
|

Every drop of fascist blood spilled is a tribute
A notch upon the post of progress
Our days of nonviolence far within the past
The time has come, the time is now
Hatred forged by flames of ignorance
False supremacy, foolish pride
They call for war
So war we wage
Buried prey beneath the soil
Salting every grave
No tolerance
No compromise
Allowing poison to be preached
Like venom spilled from mouths of snakes
Every spark of rhetoric must be extinguished
Threats to humanity’s existence
Validation given by those in power
We must be bystanders no longer

Anthropocene
02:34
|
|||
|
Endless trails of devastation
Constant infliction of irreparable harm
Unsustainable acts of exploitation
Time to stand up and demand that they disarm
Scorched earth holds no life
Barren soil bares no fruit
Mother Earth shall be avenged
With bloodied hands that hold the truth
Seas seethe black with oil
Skies loom gray with ash
Extinction swiftly rises
In the wake of shadows cast
The only way to save us from our destruction
Is our demise
Ecocide
Global homicide
You’ll soon have nothing left
To fucking patronize

Praying for Daylight

Praying
For
Day
Light fades into looming blackness
Twilight sounds the alarm in my chest
Sunset rescinds any sense of safety
Footsteps quicken, pulse follows suit
Dull glow of streetlight
Illuminating sentries
Offerings of momentary sanctuary
Merely false reprieve
Metal digging into palms
Improvised weaponry
Fear tracked by wolves
Beasts with intent to feed
Panic settles deep within my bones
Putting forth a face of stone
Paranoid courses in these veins
But the road ahead still remains
Darkness is a death sentence
Eluding the crosshairs of violence
And I still pray for daylight
Though it offers no relief

Monuments
03:50
|
|||
|
We must dismantle this feeble veil of justice
Dangling keys of freedom
Brown bodies rot in cells, white men roam free
Perpetuating this vicious cycle
Privatized for profit
Lining their fucking pockets
While offering no solution
But end of days in isolation
Feeding on oppression
Exploiting the impoverished
Criminality is racialized
Defining legality to target
Brick by brick
Constructing monuments
Conditions produced by capitalism
Sending the lower class to prisons
No concern of social welfare
Preserving social control
Sustained by state repression
Satiating steel cages
Overcrowded and inhumane
Human rights exchanged for confinement
Brick by brick
Constructing monuments
Of punishment

Heavy Chains
03:00
|
|||
|
I am regret personified
A cancer to purge if you wish to survive
The relentless weight of heavy chains
Persistent shackles
Perceived abandonment, the cutting blade
To the fraying ties that bind a fragile mind
Overcome with guilt
And endless apologies
Never ending chaos
Constant instability
Past riddled with burned bridged
And I still can’t exhale the smoke from my lungs
Is this a life worth living?
Existing in eternal hell
Fragmented remnants of identity
Ingrained distrust
And frantic desperation
This life is hell

Supply and Demand
03:37
|
|||
|
Decriminalize
We seek no sympathy
For obtaining stability in masculine society
We seek no fucking rescue
From being the supply to your demand
Your 9 to 5 dignity won’t save me
Shamed for meeting your desires
Stroking your ego with your savior complex
This patriarchal stigma, so fucking tired
This is no “modern day slave trade,”
Robbed of work and wage
This is no way to keep our streets safe
Robbed of rights and wage
We never asked to be saved
You’re no fucking savior
